India

National Geograhic India by Rail Photograpy Expedition, February 26 - March 8, 2018. In this selection you will see pictures from Delhi, Jaipur, (where we boarded the Palace on Wheels for 5 days of cross country travel), Ranthambore National Park, (a Tiger Reserve), Udaipur, Jaisalmer / Thar Desert (on the border with Pakistan), Jodhpur and of course, Agra. We were also there for the Hindu Festival of Holi.

Utilities compete for space above the streets in Old Delhi market. When I saw this scene I thought: “How the heck would you isolate and fix a problem, connect a new service or disconnect a customer in that mess, and, how much of that is legit or pirated service?” With these things in mind I wanted the “wire maze” in context to show the scope of the chaos and not just the maze.

At a Holi Festival. Holi, the Hindu Festival of colors welcomes spring and celebrates the triumph of good over evil in song, feasts and by covering everybody and everything thing with bright colored powders.

Massive sandstone walls and windows carved into a delicate lattice (jali), so the effect from a distance looks like lace. All subject to damage and corrosion as a result of age, India's difficult climate - violent rain storms, high winds, high temperatures, as well as damage from their numerous invasions.
